A blog of complete and utter random-ness. Hence the name : Igloo on the Beach!
You'll find poems and stories here ranging from lost sisters, to my account on a particular shade of lime green; from my dream of Michael Jackson to a curious girl. So go ahead, take a peep into my world, and I hope you enjoy!

She stood there alone, her legs were hurting. More like
burning actually. She continued to walk after a break of a minute. She walked
and walked. She had walked for hours, and planned to walk more. She had no idea
of what to do. So instead of sitting idle, get bogged down by what happened,
she wanted to distract herself.

And so she walked. Walked on roads, in fields,
on grass, on rocks, on streams, and then back the winding path, back to a place
she once called home.

Her neighbours saw her get up every morning, at the same
time and were surprised (now for a full 7 days in a row) to see her not getting
into her Cadillac. Instead, opening the front gates, wearing comfortable
looking clothes and just a camera in hand. Returned late at night, people aware
of her return only due to the slight creaking caused by her gate when opened
and closed.

Neither her guards, nor her help knew where she went alone. Just
said that every night when asked whether she wants food, they’re told that she
has eaten. What, where? No one knows.

The distant walked by her is increasing every day, and she doesn't want the path to end.

She likes the slight breeze on her face, under the scorching
sun.

Even the sweaty, drenched hair tied up in a bun,

likes the rain and the
sound of it against the window pane, but prefers the sound produced by the
waves on the beach.

She just doesn't want to be alone anymore, and she finds a
friend in nature.

It’s a word known by almost every teenager and a LOT of adults living
in the vicinity of wifi and a connectable device with a screen.

But, it’s not just a word; it’s way more than that.

Every day, millions and MILLIONS of people post a video or two.
Sometimes they’re just for entertainment, even experimentation. But sometimes,
there are actual motives behind it. A lot of “YouTubers” as they are called are
trying to change the world. From LGBT rights, to fighting depression – Its all
being covered on the forum our parents think is a “major waste of time and
bandwidth”.

The YouTube community is more like a family, with all the
subscribers of a channel connecting, networking, supporting and we can’t deny,
even hating, together.

On the other hand, what the elderly generation also needs to
understand is that we kids’ attain a lot of knowledge and information through
videos too, and a lot of us prefer this way, instead of reading from dull and non-illustrated
textbooks.

My subscription list is really long, but the top channels on it
are:-

1.Connor Franta – He posts about anything
and everything. From things he loves/hates, to expressing his love for coffee,
and most recently the fact that he is gay. His vlogging channel (More Connor)
is also a lot of fun to watch.

He portrays
himself as a very positive person who sees the better half of things and,

HE IS MY
FAVOURITE YOUTUBER.

2.Tyler Oakley – His Wikipedia says he is an
“internet personality”, but for me and his six million, three hundred, fifty-
nine thousand, nine hundred and twenty-four subscribers (as of 24th
January 2015), he is still the fun loving, laughing, scared of spiders Tyler
who has a jingle for his question and answer videos.

3.iiSuperwomanii – Superwoman aka Lily Singh
has all my attention when she’s saying “Shemurr” with THAT expression on her
face. All her fans will understand the THAT. AND HER VIDEOS WITH HUMBLE THE POET THOUGH. EVEN HIS OWN VIDEOS THOUGH. Okay I'm fangirling so bad right now.

4.ASAP Science – Here comes the education.
This channel picks up random topics related to science and posts videos in a
very eye-soothing manner, mixed with a great sense of humour.

5.Jacksgap – The channel was born due to
Jack’s gap year, and hence the name. Posts AMAZING videos, documentaries, music
videos with help from his identical twin, FINN.

7. Danisnotonfire – He taught me the importance of llamas, and the
song too.

8. Kanan gill – Man those pretentious movie
reviews though.

9.AIB – go check out their channel, i
insist.

10. Jus reign – The Indian references, though
offensive to a few stuck up people, are damn funny.

11. Nigahiga – Brain waves through a lot of
his videos, which makes them funnier and way more interesting than scripted
videos.

Well, that’s
the list, there are a lot more like Joe Sugg, Marcus Butler and Hannah Hart, lawhf, BeingIndian, etc. The thing with YouTube is that you get introduced to other channels
through collaborations done by your subscribed channel.

So if there are any Youtubers that you watch
from the list above, or any in general, comment down below!UPDATE ON 23rd MARCH 2015: I recently found Casey Neistat's channel, and wow! It's a really good channel and can easily be in the top 5 of my list.
